What the H*ll is a Virtual Book Tour?

Even in the era of books that you could pull from a shelf and thumb through, marketing was a mystery to me. In the digital age it’s even more intimidating. How do you introduce readers to a novel that exists only as zeros and ones in a digital program? Fortunately, I have friends that are less technologically challenged. They have launched me on a virtual book tour. It starts in May and will eventually include 36 (virtual) stops. There are interviews, blurbs, sample chapters, giveaways and whatever else the gurus of modern book marketing dictate. To see what a virtual tour looks like, you are invited to visit any of the tours stops. Here is a list of dates and sites during May.
